Critic Reviews for Jupiter Ascending - MDBReviews
Jupiter Ascending critic reviews provided by Metacritic.com
TheWrap Alonso DuraldeWho cares if the story is occasionally impenetrable or if some gags land with a thud when the thrills and the eye candy keep coming at such a breathless pace? Jupiter Ascending doesn't break the new ground that the Wachowskis have managed in the past...but the film never slacks in its efforts to wow us.
HitFix Drew McWeeny
Fast, frequently teetering on the cusp of the ridiculous, and eye-poppingly pretty, Jupiter Ascending is a wicked slice of entertainment, and a heck of an antidote to the typical February box-office blahs.
Total Film
Both visually and in the action stakes, Jupiter Ascending could give pretty much any space movie a run for its money.
Time Out London Tom Huddleston
This is one mad mess from start to finish... But the sheer ambition is impossible to ignore, and the sense of fun is infectious: you may fear for your sanity during Jupiter Ascending, but you'll come out smiling.
The Guardian Peter Bradshaw
It's all very chaotic and entertaining, like a bizarre cult sci-fi TV show that somehow survived a threat of mid-season cancellation.
RogerEbert.com Matt Zoller Seitz
It's blandly, often listlessly bad, check-the-blockbuster-boxes bad, just-out-of-film-school-and-shopping-a-tentpole-screenplay bad.
The Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy
Even with all its familiar action tropes, less-than-fresh special effects and loopy plotting, the most depressing element in the Wachowski siblings' latest sci-fi mash is that, as they conceive it, human society has been around for more than a billion years but is still presided over by a rivalrous British-style royal family that treacherously behaves as if it were the 1550s.
Variety Peter Debruge
While the Wachowskis have always put their greatest emphasis on aesthetics, they allow the visual impulse to get the best of them here, investing so much attention in creating unique fashions, technology, architecture and design that they've blinded themselves to the huge logical gaps in their own story.
Empire Kim Newman
Like too much filmed space opera, this is wonderfully imaginative when it comes to costume, art direction, special effects, spaceships and incidental alien creatures but stuck with old-hat character types and a resolutely unspecial storyline. It's frequently entertaining, but as much for its terrible moments as its inspired touches.
Tribune News Service Roger Moore
An excruciatingly empty chunk of eye candy that spends over two hours trying to convince us they're not ripping off “Dune.”
